The Leader in Mobile Phone News and Reviews

Motorola this week stared selling brand new Moto Mods from the Style Shell series. In case you’re not familiar with the Style Shell Moto Mods, these are swappable back covers that can change the aspect of Moto Z smartphones, with little added thickness.

The new Style Shell models are the first Moto Mods made out of polycarbonate and Gorilla Glass 5, and they should be able to survive drops from up to 5.2 feet (1.6 meters). Five different interesting designs are available: Colored Leaves, Expressive Curves, Graphic Flowers, Retro Stripe, and Overlapping Triangles. …

Most of Motorola’s 2018 lineup has already been leaked earlier this month, so there are little surprises still waiting for fans of the US brand. However, the Moto E5 was a bit under the radar when it comes to pictures and details about specs.

Probably the cheapest Motorola smartphone to be launched this year, the Moto E5 is expected to feature a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, something that companies usually save for their mid- and high-tier products.

Several 3D renders and a video made after the Moto E5’s CAD files confirm the positioning of the fingerprint sensor on the back …

Motorola fans rejoice, as your favorite brand has quite a few surprises in store for you. Well, not anymore since they all ended up on the internet, but that no reason not to be excited, right?

There was no doubt that the G5 lineup will be followed by the G6, although some wondered if another G Play smartphone would be part of the new lineup once again. Well, apparently the answer is affirmative, at least according to some official (or not) images that have just leaked online. In fact, this is just a confirmation of what Evan Blass pointed out back in October.

Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean that the discounts have ended. Motorola is taking $100 off the price of the unlocked Moto Z2 Play on the company’s website. The handset, offering 64GB of native storage, can be purchased for $399 in dark grey or gold. The device carries a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with a 1080 x 1920 resolution. Under the hood is the Snapdragon 626 chipset with an octa-core 2.2 GHz CPU and the Adreno 506 GPU. 4GB of RAM is inside. Those requiring additional storage can take advantage of the 2TB capacity microSD slot.

Motorola is already running a sale on some its smartphones, but that’s not the only thing the US-based company is offering at a discount. No less than ten Moto Mods are now on sale at Best Buy, so if you’ve already purchased a Motorola smartphone, one of these accessories will definitely come in handy.

Customers who purchase one of the Moto Mods that are on sale at Best Buy will save up to $75, but there are products that are just $20 off. Even so, they definitely look like good deals if you’ve been looking for a Moto Mod to go with your Motorola phone.

Not to be outdone by other phone makers, Motorola Mobility
today unveiled its own Black Friday 2017 deals, allowing customers to buy select
unlocked handsets (plus Moto Mods) at reduced prices. While Moto’s Black Friday
promotion doesn’t include any jaw-dropping price cuts, you can still find some
attractive deals (though some of them are, or were also available from other
retailers).

Here’s what Motorola’s official US website is currently listing as
part of its Black Friday 2017 promotion:

Last month news about an unannounced moto mod called Polaroid Insta-Share Printer made headlines. Today, the US-based company has taken the wraps off the previously rumored Moto Mod.

Starting this week, the Polaroid Insta-Share Printer moto mod will be available for purchase at Verizon for $200. Motorola also announced it will go on sale in other markets globally “in the coming months.”

As the name suggests, the moto mod can be attached to a compatible Motorola smartphone and used to print the pictures taken with the phone’s camera while on the go. Simply …

BayStreet Research is a company that tracks sales of specific products. One of the devices it tracked recently was the AT&T branded Moto Z2 Force. The data revealed that since the launch of the phone in August, the nation’s second largest carrier sold only 10,000 units through the end of October. AT&T rang up this paltry sales total even though buyers of the phone received a free Moto Insta-Share Projector valued at $300.

Last year, the Moto Z Force Droid was a Verizon exclusive and as such, it was part of the carrier’s historic Droid lineup. Not wanting to limit its sales to Verizon …

For mobile-gadget fans who love checking out lots of new smartphone hardware, Motorola’s Z-series and its support for Moto Mods has been a dream come true. Not only do we get to see a bunch of new handsets, ranging from top-shelf flagships to power-conserving mid-rangers, but there’s also a steady stream of new modular accessories just waiting to be used with these devices.

Earlier this summer, we shared with you a new batch of Moto hardware that was landing, including the Moto Z2 Play and Moto Mods that gave the phone support for wireless charging, an extended-life battery, and an extra-loud …

Today is the (ongoing) launch event for the Moto Z2 Force.
The Z2 was accompanied by the unveiling of two more Moto Mods, as well: the 360
Camera Mod which launched today, and the Moto Gamepad, which is said to launch later
this summer. Motorola’s also throwing a full-blown launch party for the Z2
Force later today, but in the mean time we figured we’d break you off with a little
preview of the two products launched today.
